The safety of transport packages may be demonstrated by numerical calculation of load scenarios defined in the IAEA regulations. Possible handling accidents of casks at interim storage sites or in a final repository are typically analyzed by dynamic finite element computations. In each case the investigated load scenario must be transferred into a mathematical model. Secondly the mathematical model must be transferred into a numerical model. Reliable finite element models should be developed by assembling verified sub-models of components. The finite element mesh, material modeling, initial and boundary conditions, contact definitions, and time integration as well as the benefit of pre- and post-calculations are discussed. The paper presents lessons learnt from modeling dynamic test scenarios for finite element analyses over the years.
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out for investigation of damping concrete under different impact loading conditions with a built-in material model and damage criteria available in FEA code ABAQUS.
At first, all parameters for the selected material model had been derived from compression Tests of cubic specimens. After that, a validation was carried out with different static and dynamic penetration tests. Finally, a 5 meter real drop test with a 23 Mg cylindrical cask could successfully be simulated.
